Mural Tour

Walk through Venice's ever changing street art scene

After fulfilling our snack cravings, we decided to explore the local street art with great respect. Graffiti is a huge part of Venice and if lucky, one might see an international artist with a cherry picker and spray paint creating a vibrant new work.

One of the most fascinating Street Artists in Venice is The Art of Chase.

Since moving to Los Angeles from Belgium in 2009, Chase Erachi (The Art of Chase) has created over 50 different murals in Venice Beach alone. His colorful eyes have become a part of the backdrop of the neighborhood with its playful and energetic style. We met Chase for coffee and he took us around, giving us an intimate look into his art around Venice Beach.
